GP Pinpointer vs Garrett Pro Pointer AT

Ordered a cheap GP Pinpointer to see if it would compare to the Garrett Pro Pointer AT
Not so much
Sensitivity was no where near as good
Otherwise it didn't do too bad

Dude, my GP picks up every time at 2". You either have a bad unit or bad battery.

I am using the GP Pointer at the moment (I will be upgrading this year) Mine performs way way better than is being shown here. I got the GP because it was cheap and yes I know you get what you pay for. But this was my first season detecting and already spent over budget. My GP Pointer has served me well and is still going strong, I have no doubt it aint as good as many others on the market but is better than grabbing fists full of dirt. I think compared to this mine would have found the pellet with ease at that depth and would have picked up the coin at around an inch and half.... Maybe I got the good one???? but reviews I viewed before getting mine were good...not great but good. Not sure this is a true reflection based on what I am finding with mine.

Garrett are good, but they are overpriced, IMO.

That’s what I like about the GP, it beeps when you right on top of the target that way you know exactly where it is. Other than the Garrert where it beeps 2 inches away and don’t know exactly where it is.

im very happy with my gp pointer...ive found lots of stuff in the two months ive had it...not sure how the garrett would be better...i dig a hole and the gp helps me pinpoint the metal...garrett would do what differently for another 100 bucks?

My gp pointer works very well !!! way better than that one, yours must be a lemon.!!!

i have a chinesse gp pointer, and mine works very nice, i cant see any difference in distance detection with the garret, maybe yours are not working correctly? also nice video, that kind of material help us to decide what to buy

I just bought a gp pointer and it's nice .
Now the more you use it, it gets better picking up .
I have a Bounty Hunter pinpointer, and it's not worth throwing in the trash .
Now I do like the gp pointer .

Hi there I bought mine on wish, it took bout 6 weeks to get to me, I brought it with me when I went camping and was able to fine old tent pegs that looked like really rusty and at least 2inchs down and gave a good signal

Hi there it appears it has a sensitivity control on by holding the power button in and setting it to number 3...worth a try? Fred in UK

I’ve had one for 3 yrs now, it’s been dropped, stepped on, has gotten wet, I use Every weekend
Weather permitting, in the Parks, a lot of Beach use, and it’s been rock solid, would buy another in a second
Hope this helps Regards, good luck Detecting!

DAMN, when the video first started, i heard Jessie the body Ventura talking..

[mtgrave]

The worm agrees with you. Great video. This helps me decide what to buy, and it's been a trip trying to get something that will detect a small piece of gold in a stream bed.

[stvcolwill]

This is an extremely well done video. Very informative. It’s my first one that I’ve watched of yours. Great job

[bakerXderek]

This makes me glad I didn't go the cheap route.

I know that this is an older video, but my comment may help someone that gets an older GP pointer model (like the one tested in the video). Use a bright flashlight to light up the tip of the GP. Put the light right against the plastic. See if the sensing coil is all the way at the end (there will be an obvious shadow if it's not). If it's not at the very end, look on YouTube to see how to fix it.

I've got an GP Pointer, too. But mine works as nearly as good as my mate's Garrett Pinpointer.

[gonagain]

My Chinese GP pointer is way better than that. Were you using a quality battery in it or the original Chinese one?

[otcpiper]

I just got mine in and it works about like the Garrett. Locates large and small coins at about 3". It picked up a 22 cal pellet at about 1". On a budget, this is a great way to go. I would suppose on budget items, the chance for duds are greater but if you luck into a good one you come out ahead. As a LEO, I unfortunately have to take the risk a little more than I'd like.

Thanks for this video. I was going to go cheap but forget that now. Nokta was going to be my first pricier pointers.
